I have yet to get a DVD to read in CentOS 5.
I can install from DVD and then reboot and then the DVD drive is no longer
accessible.
It works with several live CD and DVD images with no problems however.
This is on an HP system.
I think it is an OS problem.
I will test in some other systems and let you know my results.

Anne: This is something that worked fine, for several years. It was my
box, before my daughter got it, and I used the DVD drive, without
problems. That it works OK in MS Windows XP and that I can boot the box
from the same DVD, without problems, has me leaning more toward a
problem with CentOS 5 Mounting the DVD, in that box. If it is a HW
problem, I would think the problem would also appear in Windows and when
I boot from that DVD. However, that it works OK, in 2 other Desktops,
would possibly indicate a HW problem in that box. TIA, Lanny
